Learn to Enjoy a Cancer-Blocking Diet

EASY WAY #3

We are what we eat

Our body is a piece of live terrain that we own until the day we die. We can nourish ourselves and create a piece of organic farmland, or we can eat processed foods and drink soda and alcohol each day… and create a toxic dump.

Turn your body into cancer-blocking terrain:

7 Cancer-Blocking Foods & Supplements

#1 Eat your Broccoli… brussel sprouts, cabbage and kale!

These are all called cruciferous veggies. They are #1 on this list because they contain a weak plant-based estrogen (also called: phytoestrogen or phytochemical) that absorbs or replaces excess stronger estrogens, already in your body, that can irritate or inflame your breast cells.

#2 Only eat chicken and red meat that contain no antibiotics and no added hormones!

The U.S. is the only developed country in the world that still allows these carcinogenic chemicals into our food supply. To protect yourself, eat chicken that is marked organic, which means “fed no antibiotics or hormones”; eat only grass-fed or organic red meat, also Australian or New Zealand lamb can be OK as many farmers raise grass fed sheep. New Zealand also does not allow the use of growth hormones in their sheep.

All dairy products contain some level of animal estrogens. But if you do include some dairy in your diet, only drink organic or rBGH-free milk and eat rBGH-free dairy products. Recombantant growth hormone (rBGH), is a chemical hormone injected into dairy cows in the U.S. to artificially increase their milk production and increase profits/cow. The U.S. is the only developed country in the world that still allows dairy farmers to inject their herds with this bovine growth hormone.

The rBGH, also called Prosilac, currently marketed by Eli Lilly (Montsanto sold the marketing rights to Lily a few years ago), also contains increased levels of a carcinogenic hormone called insulin like growth factor. Pre-menopausal women who regularly drink rBGH milk have been shown to have a 4-fold increase in invasive breast cancer over their peers who drink only rBGH-free milk.

rBGH also increases the cow’s need for antibiotics, as the growth hormone increases infection in the cow’s over-stimulated milking system

And ice cream? Say YES to Ben & Jerry’s!!!!

Ben & Jerry’s, along with small organic ice cream producers, is among the very few U.S. ice cream brands that does not use rBGH milk.

Best to buy the whole seed and grind a half a cup each day and mix into your food! Flaxseeds contain ligans which have been shown to block the ability of any extra estrogen in your body from irritating your breast cells… just like cabbage, cauliflower and other cruciferous veggies can do. Flaxseeds also contain omega 3 fatty acids, a substance that our bodies cannot make on their own, but that help reduce inflamed breast tissue.

#5 Eat 2 TBSP of organic fermented soyeveryday:
Japanese and Chinese women have much lower rates of breast cancer, as long as they are eating their traditional diets. Research shows that most Asian diets contain daily amounts of fermented soy. Miso and tempeh, and the Japanese breakfast favorite, natto beans, and other forms of fermented soy, all contain an enzyme that dissolves the body’s excess aromatase… a building block of estrogen. No wonder the average Japanese woman, no matter what her age, has 22% lower levels of circulating estrogen than her western peers. 2 tablespoons a day is all you need.

#6 Limit sugar & other types of white foods:
Glucose, produced by white sugar, white processed foods, sodasand alcohol is very good at nourishing cancer cells. People who regularly eat foods that contain white flour, potatoes, sugar, and white rice are creating cancer-loving bodies. Research shows that as some tumors begin to form, the huge amount of glucose-based foods you put in your body every day, weaken your immune system, while the glucose can also feed any small or large tumors in your breasts.

#7 Eat Turmeric (curcumin):Thismember of the ginger family helps stop your breasts from becoming inflamed, a first step in most breast cancer diagnoses. In fact, a pharmaceutical company, Phytopharm, in the UK hopes to introduce a natural product, p54, that contains certain volatile oils, which greatly increase the potency of the turmeric spice. You can use tumeric in various soups, stews and grains and you can take tumeric in capsules as a daily food supplement.

The Metabolism of Estrogen in the Body

Research over the past decade shows that the development of breast cancer appears to be related to how your body currently breaks down estrogens.

Estrogens must be eliminated from the body once they have performed their essential hormonal duties.
